SOME SIMPLE IR PROBLEMS. Assign all the peaks that you can (that is, label them right on the spectrum) with the type of bond responsible for the absorption: C=O, C-H, -CH 2 - or -CH 3 bending, N-H, O-H, C-O, -C=N, C=C, benzene, oops, etc.). =.

For instance, “C=O” or “C-H” imply stretching. These can be solved using infrared and an index of hydrogen deficiency.
Problem 1 HINT: Can be made from propyne when treated with aqueous H2SO4 and HgSO4. C3H6O 1421 1363 1715
Problem 2 HINT: Can be made from ethyl iodide and a good nucleophile in acetone (SN2). C3H5N 2248
Problem 3 HINT: Made by adding water to propene using 3M H2SO4. C3H8O 1162 3345 1130 970
Problem 4 HINT: The solution to this one is in the hydrogen deficiency index. C5H10O 1162 994 3345
Problem 5 HINT: The solution to this one is in the hydrogen deficiency index. C7H5N 2178
Problem 6 HINT: The solution to this one is in the hydrogen deficiency index. C8H8O 1686
Problem 7 HINT: This one stinks like rancid butter. C4H8O2 1712
Problem 8 HINT: There are two functional groups. C3H4O 2121
Problem 9 HINT: The two peaks at 2820 and 2738 are the key. C7H6O 2738 2820 1703
Problem 10 C8H8O2 1112 1724 1279
PRACTICAL APPLICATION This next problem is a little more difficult, requiring both infrared and a knowledge of reactions.
Problem 11 As a project, Mary was given an unknown compound A, and told to perform the reactions listed below. At the end of each reaction step she was told to submit the major product for microanalysis, in order to obtain the molecular formula, and to also determine its infrared spectrum. The structure of each compound was to be identified. Can you help her solve the structures and pass this class?
